I don't mind having web browsing as a default state but what I've done succesfully in the past is have alarms throughout the day to remind me to exercise, leave the house, do chores, etc.

I used to live someplace close to a church with a bell tower that rang the time every fifteen minutes. I no longer live there, but I have considered writing a program to do the same thing -- I recall it being useful for productivity, and for escaping default-mode (which has a terrible sense of time).
